Hey there! I'm new to this site, but not at all new to roleplaying. Like, at all. If you want a sample, feel free to ask.
Now, as for the role play so if you can decide if this would be something you're interested in or not. I'm looking for someone to play Neville Longbottom for my OC, Arthur McCross
I feel like I've got kind of an interesting plot here, but I'd love to hear anything you have to add or change. I love it when my RP partners and myself can collaborate together to come up with a plot because in the end the RP ends up so much richer and then we're both invested in it. So, anyway, my idea:
If you haven't read the books, you may not know that Neville Longbottom could have actually been the 'chosen one' instead of Harry. In this rp, he would be. It starts off with my character Art, a Slytherin, not knowing anything about house rivalries, so on the first day of class he goes and sits in the first available seat. Which of course just so happens to be next to Gryffindor Neville. Of course Neville would be wigged out at first, but they'd end up getting assigned to work on a project together and would become friends. Pretty much, my idea would be that these two, in the beginning at least, would be like the golden trio, err, in this case duo, and fight voldemort both first year and second year. This is an RP that would go through all 7 years of Hogwarts, but with generous time skips to skip over the mundane parts of their lives where nothing is going on. Besides, role playing 7 whole years would take forever. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Back to the plot idea, third year, there is no voldemort? So what would we do? Well, I was thinking that this would be the year that inevitable tensions arise as their houses begin to have a bigger influence on their friendship. A tension that continues to rise throughout their fourth year and into their fifth year, especially with the DA that year. Neville would probably be pressured by the group to not tell Art about the DA, and Art would figure that Neville was hiding something and feel betrayed, once finding out what it is maybe dropping a hint or two to a certain group of Umbridge suck ups. Their 6th year could involve a huge blowout, similar to something Draco and Harry had, only not as similar because Draco and Harry weren't friends once upon a time...
So. 7th year. (they grow up so fast). This is the year where everything starts being right again. Neville, in an attempt to go off and destroy the horcruxes, doesn't attend his 7th year at Hogwarts. At some point, Art learns about Death Eater plans to stop him due to his 'friends' in Slytherin house. Deciding that, while he's still incredibly pissed at Neville, he can't let his once best friend be caught and killed, he ditches school to save his ass.
This is where the golden duo (it just doesn't have the same ring to it..) reunites.... kinda. Tensions are still high, most likely heightened by the locket once they begin the trek through the forests since one of them still gets splinched and can't travel. And I mean, those wouldn't be the only tensions because as the genre tags state this is supposed to be a romance, so yeah, I'm talking romantic tensions are also high. I'm assuming they're probably residual ones from when they were on a bit better terms, like 4th or 5th year before the whole betrayal thing, but none the less they're there.
Pretty much, a lot of that was detail and a lot of it can be changed! I just like creating a basic guideline for us to work off of. If you think you've got a better idea for how most of this goes down, let me know! If you like the concept but don't want them to follow exactly in the golden trio's footsteps, that's cool too! Really, you have the power. The power is yours... except obviously I gotta like your ideas too, heheh. And that's pretty much everything! Reply here or pm me if you're interested
